Broken Cyborg is a one of the most challenging starting scenarios. While it may be less deadly withing the first 48hrs than a Really Bad Day Character, it can prove more challenging over the first in game month. Your body is a ticking time bomb without proper intervention your bad bionics will eventually kill you.

Location

Broken Cyborgs can start in:

  • Locked Labs
  • The Forest
  • Hospitals

For more information on escaping locked labs see Lab challenge Guide.

Bionics

You get all of the bad bionics in the game, as well as a few helpful ones.

Really Bad

  • Acidic Discharge Causes frequent minor damage and pain that interrupts sleep.
  • Leaky Bionic This will eventually make your health so bad that you can't heal from sleep at all.

Acidic Discharge may look relatively similar to electrical discharge, however when mixed with leaky bionic it is deadly.

Bad

These bionics are bad, but many turn out to be less bad than they sounds. Taking Quick at character creation will negate most of the effects of pain caused by bad bionics. Encumbrance is bad, but can be mostly offset by higher stats, higher skills, and your bionic armor.

Armor

Armor on all parts of your body, make you invulnerable to damage from many monsters. Moose may tear your clothes, Zombies may grab you, but chances are they can't harm your body.

  • Alloy Plating - Head
  • Alloy Plating - Torso
  • Alloy Plating - Arms
  • Alloy Plating - Legs
  • Protective Lenses

Other

  • Fingertip Razors
  • Power Storage
  • Joint Torsion Ratchet
